LeAnn Rimes' compilations are the only places I have
ever heard "Written In The Stars' with the vocals reversed - she sings first, then Elton. Was this version ever released or promoted as a single? Based on the actual play, "Aida," what order should they be singing this? |

It's on my 3 track CD Written in The Stars single listed
as "alternate version - Leann sings first verse". I believe this version was serviced to some country stations at the time. The 3rd track is a sampling of snippets from the AIDA album. |

I'm presuming the 'hit' version was track 1 on the CD
single with Elton singing first? |

I would say it was. It was what I heard on the radio and with it being Track 1 on the single, it was obviously what the record company expected to be the hit. |

Yes, track 1 was the more common version as heard in the
promo video (which I remembered getting tons of airplay on VH-1 back when it was new). |

Yes, the Elton first version was the only one I ever
heard played on the radio. I was not even aware there was a LeAnn first version until hearing her "Greatest Hits" album. (Curious if any country station ever played this - it sure would have been a stretch for that format!) Who sings this song first in the actual play - the male or female character? |
